Custom Training is Great!

For my latest session with Maxwell it was unusually hot and because this is "personal" training Maxwell was able to modify my training in a way that was strenuous but appropriate for both me the heat. He watched me carefully to see that I drank enough water and rested when I needed to -...

The best personal trainers in Michigan

I’ve been dedicated to the gym and fitness since the age of 15, competing for the first time at the age of 22. I took off 20 years to raise my kids but now I’m competing again. I’m also a NASM certified personal trainer, here to help you.

Not only am I 50, I was diagnosed with a rare form of Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy in my early 40s. Talk about irony. However, I learned to train around my shortcomings and thrive once again. My philosophy for personal training is: it’s not hard but it is work. No one is going to give it to you, but together we can determine your goals and build a program to reach your dreams whether it is losing weight, building muscle, getting more fit to do more activities, or even compete! Don't be shy, ask me anything when you see me.

I am a Certified Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine and I also have a Bachelor's of Science in Exercise Science.

My coaching and programming isn't designed to make you workout for 2 hours a day or make you vomit. My coaching is to ACCURATELY and PRECISELY design you a program outlining the workouts you need to do and how long they should be. I will also provide the specific numbers that need to be tracked like calories burned and consumed, body weight, etc. This is to make sure you are making progress each week. We want to avoid over training but we also want to make sure we are doing enough.

Self-made fitness trainer and motivator, very hard working and strong. Addicted to becoming the best version of me through challenging myself through life experiences on my fitness journey. I'm very passionate about inspiring others around me to live a healthy lifestyle and to not be afraid of change. Consistency is key and allowing yourself to grow at all times when uncomfortable moments set in.

Lynda also owns PKSA Karate Ann Arbor and is a third degree black belt and certified martial arts and self-defense instructor.

Lynda is a supportive coach, not someone who will yell and intimidate in order to get results. She is passionate about empowering people to be good stewards of their bodies and achieve anything they set out to do.

A certified Professional Health Coach, who is skilled with aspects of weight management, exercise science, nutrition and behavior modification. I'm a passionate advocate for wellness and worklife balance, who encourages positive health parameters for my clients. I am well versed in the critical components involved to pursue a wellness lifestyle, being expressly skilled in motivation that encourages long-term behavior change.

I became a Personal Trainer on January 5, 2018, but my love for fitness and wellness started in 2008. I have worked out at several fitness centers through out the years and I've always wanted to be a trainer for years, but because of other education commitments, I put the personal training ambitions on the side. I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and I will be working on my Masters Degree in Information Systems starting Summer 2018. I decided to become a Personal Trainer because I love fitness and I believe that I can use this love to help other people achieve their fitness goals. I want to safely share my passion and love for fitness as well as the knowledge I have gained from the American Council on Exercise.

About 6 years ago I went thru a new transition of lifestyle changes. I incorporated exercise and nutritional into my daily lifestyles. Changed my eating habits to clean nutritional foods, made fitness and exercise a part of daily routines and over this transitional period I lost 45 lbs. I also am a wellness manager for local business to support employees health and well being. I help clients with understanding of nutritional and fitness goals thru use of meal tracking, training improvements and customer goal achievements. Having an understanding that everything takes time and if at first you don’t see results…keep trying! I enjoy helping others and sharing what I have learned and experienced to improve their wellness.

Hello! My name is Jessica Wood and I'm 25 years young. I have had a passion for sports and fitness since I can remember. I started played softball when I was just 4 years old and continued to play at the collegiate level. I also participated in basketball, swimming, some track & field, football and cheerleading growing up. I love a variety of activities and am always looking for some way to stay active. I just recently moved back to Michigan from living in San Diego for the past 2 years. After graduating college with my Bachelors of Science Degree in Exercise Science I moved out to San Diego where I completed a 14 week internship with one of the top Sports Performance Companies known as EXOS. I have worked with a variety of clientele including youth, general population, women, and even have experience with navy seals and professional athletes as well. I became a trainer because I want to help others reach their highest potential and coach clients how to live overall healthier lives. I want to inspire as many individuals as I can and I believe that a true healthy life includes balance, proper nutrition, activity, meditation, and happiness. I look forward to helping you reach your goals. Learn to love your body!

Session Location: Surprisingly, session costs are lower when the personal trainer travels to the client’s home, building gym or meets at a local park. Most gyms that offer personal training charge high session rates, require an expensive membership, do not allow the client to select the trainer and offer no refunds if it’s not the right match.

Personal Trainer Certification: Not all certifications are created equal. Insist upon a trainer that has been certified by an NCCA accredited organization and who has also been background checked to ensure the accuracy of their provided credentials. All personal trainers on Fyt are certified by an NCCA accredited organization, have been background checked and are fully insured.

Session Duration: Most Personal Trainers inMichigan recommend 60 minute sessions. Session duration always depends on the client’s current fitness level and goals. Personal trainers will always customize your workouts from beginners just getting started to those trying to break through a plateau!

Sessions Purchased: The larger the session package purchased, the deeper the discount. The more times you work out, the quicker your progress. You and your trainer will determine the right frequency for you and your goals.

Here is all you need to know to find the right personal trainer in Michigan !

Certifications and Expertise: Most people in Michigan choose personal training when they want to lose weight, be healthier, get stronger, or feel better. Your personal trainer must have an excellent understanding of human anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and exercise science. All personal trainers on Fyt are certified through an NCCA accredited organization and have met some of the most rigorous standards in the personal training industry.

What Are Your Goals? Understanding your personal fitness goals and current ability will help you find the right personal trainer in Michigan. Finding the right experience, skill and personality match is critical. For example, if you are just starting to workout, make sure you find a personal trainer that is experienced and excited to work with newbies!

Location: No need to get an expensive gym membership. The best personal trainers are not confined to the germy equipment inside a gym. Look for a personal trainer that will travel to your home, meet you at a local Michigan park or your building gym.

Convenience: If it isn't convenient, then it’s not sustainable. It's the same reason why 80% of people who join a gym in Michigan January quit within a few months. The path to fitness is already paved with plenty of obstacles. Working out where it’s most convenient at the time you choose can be the difference between results and floundering.

The Right Connection: Always make sure that you schedule a phone consultation with the personal trainer you select prior to your first session. This allows you both to get to know each other better, ask tons of questions and to help set expectations for the first session.

Here’s how to becoming a great personal trainer in Michigan!

Certification: The best personal training certification programs require a personal trainer to complete courses in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and exercise science. All trainers on Fyt are certified via an NCCA accredited organization which comply with the most strict and rigid certification guidelines in the industry. ACE, NASM, ACSM and NSCA are four of the most well-regarded certifications.

Passion: To some people, personal training is a job. To others, personal training is a passion. Truly great personal trainers want to help people become their best selves through diet and exercise. Great personal trainers understand the behavior patterns and mental struggles that affect most people and how to overcome them.

Accountability: The ability to hold clients accountable is a critical skill for every great personal trainer. Each personal trainer has their own style and tactics to hold clients accountable. Rest assured that using periodic check-ins, reminders and performance tracking, are some very common and powerful tools to help motivate their clients through challenging times.

Science: One of the biggest benefits of personal trainers is their science-backed understanding of anatomy, physiology and Kinesiology (the science of movement). Personal trainers use this knowledge to assess clients’ current state and to create personalized exercise plans that will keep them safe while they progress.

Support: Great personal trainers offer empathy and encouragement to help clients overcome frustrations or anxiety with beginning or continuing an exercise program. The ability to see how a person is feeling and offer meaningful encouragement is vital to a personal trainer's success.
